Workflow is a more basis related component. This component allows you to configure SAP system to trigger the mail straight to the Inbox of the manager. It can be related to approval of PR or PO or it can be of anyother purpose. The main purpose is the manager need not to login GUI screen for approval. He could select the approval button in his outlook mail(This mail will contain complete details of purchase order), it will automaticall update in SAP back end.

Workflow will be per Business object. BO can be PR, PO etc.It is possible to set the event by when the workflow should trigger. For example it should trigger when the purchaser creates a PO and saves it . The saving action is called event. After the event is triggerred system will check for the starting conditions. It is possible to define starting condition per workflow. It is like your release strategy. If the value of PO is less than 1000 then it should be approved by one manager, if values >1000 then it should undergo approval from 2 managers.

There are plenty of predefined workflows which could be used straigt according to the purpose expected.However workflow is delicate and has to be configured with utmost care in proper sequence to avoid in consistencies.
